Toallwhmntmayconcem: Be it known thatI, ALBERT L. TAYLOR, of Spring- Vfield, in the county of Windsor, and State of Vermont,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toy- Vehicles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will'enable others skilled in the art -to makeand use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying `drawings, forming part of this speciication, in which- Figure 1 isa side view of my invention.

Figure 2 is .a plan or top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding "The object of this invention is to obtain a meansv whereby toy wheel-vehicles may be yconstructed at a much less cost than usual, and still have as neat an appearance as when manufactured in the ordinary way.

The invention consists'in a vehicle formed of a body, wheels, and tongue, the body being of peculiar construction, .as will hereinafter be more fully set forth.

In the accompanying sheet fdrawings- AA represent the two wheels, and

B, the tongue of a toy-cart.

' O is the-body, composed of a bottom piece, a, and a side piece, b. n Y Y The bottom piece a is formed with round corners, c, and is secured to the aide and tongue by nails, screws,

or other'suitable means, and the side piece b is made,

lin this instance, out of a single strip of thin wood,

bent around the' sides or edges of the bottom piece' a, the lower edge of the strip b being nailed or otherwise secured to the edge .of a, and b beingA suciently long to admit of-its end being lapped,vas shown at d, the

lapped edges beingisecured together by nails or otherwise. The side of the' body may be composed of two strips instead of one,- but one strip would be preferable.

The strip b for the side piece is quite thin, so that it may be readily bent. I v By this means toy-vehicles may be 'constructed at a much lessv cost than by the usual method, andhave' equally as neat or ornamental appearance.' .Having thus described my invention,

I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters
